Database Connector - Mule 4
A Mule extension that provides functionality for connecting to Databases through the JDBC standard
home
The database connector establishes communication between your app and a relational database.
The database connector facilitates setting up the following databases for use in a Mule app:
- Derby
- MySQL
- Oracle
You can set up other JDBC databases using a generic JDBC configuration. You can also reference a JDBC DataSource object, or XADataSource object which is required for XA transactions. You typically create the object in Studio using Spring.
Note: This connector module only works with Mule 4 and Studio 7.
Whatโs New in the Database Connector
If you are a Mule 3.x user, the Mule 4 database connector, which connects your app to relational databases, has a familiar UI. The new version includes these improvements:
- Easier to use operations, for example, bulk insert, update, and delete are now separate operations. A bulk operation behavior no longer depends on the received payload.
- Simplified dynamic queries. Perform dynamic queries basically the same way as static queries.
- Insert and update operations using DataWeave transformations. You can construct the datasets that insert or update the database without message side effects. You no longer use message enrichers.
- Simplified streaming. The new Mule streaming framework is automatically configured for your operations. You can execute a select statement and process the results asynchronously without worrying about leaking connections.
